There does seem to be a hint of autumn this week. The temperatures are dropping off, and there's that nip in the air first thing in the morning. We need lights on by 8 o'clock in the evening, and I'm reaching for long-sleeved clothing more often than not. That's OK though, we're so much better now at working with the seasons than against them. We've begun the tidy-up in the garden, keeping fingers crossed for just a little more sunshine, please, to finish ripening the tomatoes and peppers and sweet-corn. We'll be having a closer look at what worked well, and what crops we won't be bothering with again. There's quite a bit of sorting out to do outside so that we are ready and organised for next spring, and there's a few ideas for flowers and shrubs I'm hoping to implement, too.
N has finished sorting out all the screws and nails (and picture hooks - we could supply an art gallery!), and has realised that it's just the first of many similar jobs in the shed and storeroom. I have taken advantage of some dry weather this week to clean the windows, all of them, inside and out. It's been quite a good workout, lol, but at least the effort does appear to have been worthwhile. It is just one more task to be ticked of the outside maintenance list, and as that particular list is quite long, every tick counts.
It's been 'back to school' week here - it doesn't seem that long ago that the kids were looking forward to the start of the holidays! The days seem to go so quickly, I want to make sure I make the most of each and every one.
